Description

» English Description

Verscheffelt, 1852, Nouvelle Iconographie, Book XII, pl.IV: The blossom is of medium size, but of a faultless mathematical conformation, alternatively imbricated. The petals are very numerous, ample, rounded, emarginate, outspread, but with the edges cupped, delicately crenated and bordered with white and streaked in the same colour on a vivid cerise-­rose background. It comes from Italy where it has been grown commercially since 1851. Ortho­graphic errors: ‘Archiduc Louise’, ‘Archiduca Louis’, ‘Archiduce Louis’.
